Toilet chip repair at your home in Wern-olau
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wern-olau. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
