Toilet chip repair at your home in Thatcham
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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 regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thatcham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Thatcham
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Thatcham questions
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Thatcham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thatcham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thatcham. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
