About our toilet chip repair in Winlaton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Winlaton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Winlaton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Winlaton
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
