About our toilet chip repair in Oxhill

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oxhill. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Oxhill: your questions answered

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
