Toilet chip repair at your home in Whitehouse

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Whitehouse get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
