About our toilet chip repair in Ovington
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Ovington
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Ovington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Ovington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ovington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ovington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the whole UK
