Toilet chip repair in Wingates without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Wingates
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Wingates
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wingates. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wingates use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Wingates?
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
