Toilet chip repair in Cowley, done in place
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 technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Cowley questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cowley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
Getting a price is easy: 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. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
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 to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Cowley
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
