About our toilet chip repair in Ruscote
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
In a smaller place like Ruscote, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. A chip is generally a short visit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ruscote. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ruscote. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ruscote
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Ruscote?
Often, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Around Ruscote, access and parking are typically easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
