About our toilet chip repair in Botley

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Botley and across Buckinghamshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Botley questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Botley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Botley?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Botley

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Botley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Botley

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Botley. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Botley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes an hour or two.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
