Toilet chip repair in Oadby without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Oadby clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

What affects the price in Oadby

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oadby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
