The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Whipton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
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.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Whipton: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Whipton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
