Trusted toilet chip repair in Wilmington

Toilet chip repair in Wilmington without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Wilmington: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN26 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wilmington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
