About our toilet chip repair in Windygates
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Windygates
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Windygates
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Windygates?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Windygates and the rest of Fife. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
