Toilet chip repair in Henley-on-Thames without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. 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, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Henley-on-Thames

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Landlord and trade work in Henley-on-Thames

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
