Toilet chip repair in Widewall without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Widewall?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Widewall: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Widewall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Widewall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
