Toilet chip repair for Finstock homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Finstock

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Finstock

For anyone letting property in or around Finstock, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Finstock questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Finstock?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Finstock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Finstock. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Finstock, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
