Toilet chip repair for Ardington homes

Toilet chip repair in Ardington, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Questions from Ardington

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Ardington?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Ardington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ardington and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 Ardington

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

Repair or replace in Ardington?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Ardington customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

  • A fixed quote before booking

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
