Toilet chip repair at your home in Whitwell
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Whitwell?
Replacing a toilet means 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Common problems we fix in Whitwell
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
