What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Catmore
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Catmore
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Repair or replace in Catmore?
Replacing a 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Catmore
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Catmore, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catmore use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
