DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
Should you replace it?
A new 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. For a rural home like those around Cropredy, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Cropredy clients choose us

Cropredy questions
Can you repair toilets in a rental near Banbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Cropredy?
Normally, yes. Older toilets are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What we’re called out for in Cropredy
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Landlords with property near Banbury station (about 3.9 miles south) use us between tenancies, so toilets are repaired rather than replaced.
