Toilet chip repair for Lewknor homes

Toilet chip repair in Lewknor, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lewknor

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Lewknor?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Lewknor: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Lewknor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lewknor and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
