Book toilet chip repair in Oakley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair in Oakley without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Oakley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oakley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Oakley

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