What affects the price in Shiplake
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shiplake. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shiplake. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Toilet chip repair in Shiplake, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Do you need toilet chip repair in Shiplake?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Shiplake, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
