Toilet chip repair in Swalcliffe

FAQs for Swalcliffe

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Swalcliffe

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Swalcliffe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Swalcliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Swalcliffe

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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 quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
