Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Toilet chip repair in Oak Tree, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Oak Tree
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Oak Tree
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
