Questions from Woodthorpe
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Woodthorpe
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 is what we find. Our technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
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.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Woodthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Woodthorpe?
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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
