Toilet chip repair in Silchester without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Silchester
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Silchester
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Berkshire.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
