How we handle toilet chip repair in West Timperley
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from West Timperley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Timperley.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive

How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
