Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Wickham Street
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Wickham Street
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Wickham Street?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wickham Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Wickham Street get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
