About our toilet chip repair in Winstone
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Other services in Winstone
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Winstone. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Winstone: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Winstone?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Winstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
