Common questions in Wothorpe
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Wothorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wothorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
About our toilet chip repair in Wothorpe
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
Big or small, 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Wothorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Wothorpe
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals

How the visit works

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wothorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are

What else we do in Wothorpe
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Wothorpe

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
