About our toilet chip repair in California
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in California as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to California. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in California, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Landlord and trade work in California
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in California use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in California
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients normally contact us about:
- 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
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Our work in California
California is about 1 mile south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We travel to customers in California and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. California is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 38 miles away.
Here we cover the HP21, HP20 and HP19 postcode area. Local streets include Lee Road, Penn Road and Eaton Road, and we cover them all. California sits on or near the A41 and A418, which makes travel easy. If you’re just outside California, we cover Aylesbury (1 mile north), Walton (1 mile east), Queens Park (1 mile east), Southcourt (1 mile south) and New Zealand (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include High Wycombe (13 miles south), Chesham (11 miles south-east), Buckingham (15 miles north-west), Amersham (13 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (6 miles south) and Haddenham (6 miles south-west).
Around California

Nearby too are King's Head Inn (less than half a mile north-east) and Pebble Brook School (under half a mile west). California has its own railway station: Aylesbury station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Friars Square (under half a mile north-east) and Dinton Castle (3.4 miles west). The countryside around California includes Beacon Hill.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for California. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
