Toilet chip repair in Reading without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Reading
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Reading. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Reading
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china

When to call us in Reading
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Reading
