Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Shepherd's Green, Oxfordshire
We travel to Shepherd's Green for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
Toilet chip repair in Shepherd's Green without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Shepherd's Green
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

Work for landlords and builders
