Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Take a look at our pricing.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oxton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Oxton: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Across the UK, so Oxton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
