Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Toilet chip repair in Wykin, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Wykin
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Wykin
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
