Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Colthrop
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Colthrop
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
