How we handle toilet chip repair in Grove

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Grove: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.

Common problems we fix in Grove

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Grove

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire toilet

If you are in Grove and want a price, 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.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
