Toilet chip repair in Sonning without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sonning
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Reading.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Sonning?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sonning. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
