Trusted toilet chip repair in Headington Hill

About our toilet chip repair in Headington Hill

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Headington Hill

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Headington Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
