Toilet chip repair in Wheelock, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Wheelock
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Wheelock?

FAQs for Wheelock
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW11 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
