About our toilet chip repair in Whitchurch
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 the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Whitchurch?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
