Toilet chip repair in Hinksey Hill without replacing anything

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 tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hinksey Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When we would advise against a repair

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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Hinksey Hill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Hinksey Hill questions
