About our toilet chip repair in Whepstead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Repairing versus replacing in Whepstead
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Whepstead
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
