How we handle toilet chip repair in Bicester

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

10 questions to ask before booking

Bicester: your questions answered

Do you come to Bicester?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Bicester

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Bicester clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
