Wilby questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wilby.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Wilby

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Wilby?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wilby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
