About our toilet chip repair in Taplow

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Windsor and Maidenhead. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Taplow

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Taplow. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I have to be there?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in Taplow

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace in Taplow?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts 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.
