FAQs for Tilehurst
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Toilet chip repair in Tilehurst without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tilehurst, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
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
Getting a price
Most customers in Tilehurst get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
