About our toilet chip repair in Oare

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Oare

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oare. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oare use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

FAQs for Oare

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

Across the UK, so Oare is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Oare?

We do. We send a technician to Oare for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
