About our toilet chip repair in Wichelstowe
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wichelstowe and across Swindon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wichelstowe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
