How we handle toilet chip repair in Headington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Headington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Headington
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Headington questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Headington
