Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair in Westwood, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Westwood
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
