How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Bladon
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What else we do in Bladon
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Bladon
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site

Questions from Bladon
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Bladon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bladon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during 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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
