Trusted toilet chip repair in Worthington

What affects the price in Worthington

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Toilet chip repair in Worthington without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Worthington

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

What we’re called out for in Worthington

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Worthington

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Worthington clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Worthington

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
