About our toilet chip repair in Whippendell Bottom
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
