- 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.

Toilet chip repair in Wingate, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Wingate: your questions answered
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Are there extra charges for Wingate?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Also in Wingate
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Wingate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Wingate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
