How we handle toilet chip repair in Oakham
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Oakham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work in Oakham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oakham and the rest of Rutland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oakham. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oakham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When to call us in Oakham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
