DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Gardeners Green
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 say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Gardeners Green
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gardeners Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
