Repair or replace in Banbury?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Toilet chip repair in Banbury without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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 you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
