Advice
Toilet chip repair in Wicken, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Wicken
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Wicken
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
