How we handle toilet chip repair in Botley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Botley
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Botley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Botley. Prices don’t change with location.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botley
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Botley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Botley
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
