Toilet chip repair near Christmas Common

How we handle toilet chip repair in Christmas Common

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Christmas Common and across Oxfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Christmas Common

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace in Christmas Common?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Christmas Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Christmas Common, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Christmas Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
