Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Didcot?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Common reasons people in Didcot contact us are:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
For older houses around Didcot, near landmarks such as Church of All Saints, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Didcot
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Around Didcot, a new toilet rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
