  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Shrivenham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shrivenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Shrivenham

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

We cover the whole UK, including Shrivenham and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shrivenham?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
