What affects the price in Whorlton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Toilet chip repair in Whorlton, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Whorlton
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Whorlton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whorlton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
