About our toilet chip repair in Widham
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Widham?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlord and trade work in Widham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Widham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
