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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitson
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Whitson
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Common questions in Whitson
Do you cover the whole of Newport?
We work UK-wide, so Whitson is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitson. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
