What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Appleford-on-Thames. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Appleford-on-Thames

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Appleford-on-Thames?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appleford-on-Thames

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appleford-on-Thames as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
