Toilet chip repair at your home in Wimbish
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals alike.
Every job is backed 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.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Wimbish get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Questions from Wimbish
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
