How we handle toilet chip repair in Old Tame
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Old Tame
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Old Tame?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know

Old Tame: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oldham.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
