How we handle toilet chip repair in Catslip
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Catslip
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Catslip
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
