Toilet chip repair in Woodside, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When to call us in Woodside
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid

Landlord and trade work in Woodside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
