How we handle toilet chip repair in Willows Green
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Willows Green
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Willows Green
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Willows Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
