About our toilet chip repair in Whimple
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Whimple
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Whimple?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whimple. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Whimple get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whimple
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
