Repairing versus replacing in Harmans Water

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Harmans Water
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bracknell Forest. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Harmans Water questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
