About our toilet chip repair in Oaks in Charnwood
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Oaks in Charnwood
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Oaks in Charnwood.

Repairing versus replacing in Oaks in Charnwood
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
