Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Workhouse Green
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Workhouse Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Workhouse Green
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Workhouse Green. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
