Book toilet chip repair in Oxspring

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

Toilet chip repair in Oxspring without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oxspring as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Oxspring, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
