Toilet Chip Repair for Oaklands homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Oaklands
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oaklands as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
