Wheal Kitty: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you come to Wheal Kitty?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wheal Kitty. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Wheal Kitty
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
