How we handle toilet chip repair in Oreston
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oreston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Oreston. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
