About our toilet chip repair in Bletchingdon
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
FAQs for Bletchingdon
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to Bletchingdon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bletchingdon and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
