Toilet chip repair at your home in Ovingham
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Ovingham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Ovingham questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Are there extra charges for Ovingham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Ovingham?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 Ovingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
