Toilet chip repair at your home in Swinford
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Swinford

- Marks on the outside of the pan

Repairing versus replacing in Swinford
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Swinford
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swinford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Swinford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Swinford
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
