About our toilet chip repair in Wigan
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Wigan and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wigan use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we are called out for in Wigan
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Wigan questions
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Wigan?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wigan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
