About toilet chip repair in Reading

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

What we are called out for in Reading

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Reading questions

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Reading is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Reading?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Reading from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

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