Toilet chip repair at your home in Deddington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Deddington questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Deddington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Deddington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Repairing versus replacing in Deddington
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Deddington
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
