Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruscombe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Toilet chip repair in Ruscombe without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means 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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Ruscombe
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
