Book toilet chip repair in Headington Quarry

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Headington Quarry

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. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Headington Quarry

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
