Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in Reading Street, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Toilet chip repair in Reading Street without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reading Street use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Reading Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Reading Street
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Reading Street
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Reading Street?
We do. We send a technician to Reading Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Reading Street?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
