Toilet chip repair in Oldborough without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldborough 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. There is no charge for travel to Oldborough. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Oldborough, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
