About our toilet chip repair in Osney

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Osney?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Osney

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Common questions in Osney

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
