How we handle toilet chip repair in Widegates

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Widegates, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widegates use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

Widegates questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Widegates?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Widegates. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Widegates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Widegates

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
