About our toilet chip repair in Calcot
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. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals

- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Calcot
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calcot
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
