Toilet chip repair in Trash Green

Toilet chip repair in Trash Green without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Choosing a repair company

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trash Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Trash Green questions

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Trash Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Trash Green and the rest of Reading. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
