Toilet chip repair at your home in Woodplumpton
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 tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Woodplumpton questions
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Woodplumpton?
We do. We send a technician to Woodplumpton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodplumpton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodplumpton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
