How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitlock's End

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire toilet

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pedestals

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitlock's End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
