Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Questions from Oswestry
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Oswestry?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
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.
Are there extra charges for Oswestry?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Oswestry. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Oswestry, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace in Oswestry?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 generally the cheaper route.
