Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair at your home in Nuneham Courtenay

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Nuneham Courtenay: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
