Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Windle
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
