Toilet chip repair in Shorthampton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
In a village like Shorthampton, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Shorthampton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shorthampton
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Shorthampton?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
I let a flat near Charlbury station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX7 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere like Shorthampton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
