  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Upper Heyford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Upper Heyford

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Upper Heyford.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Heyford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Upper Heyford?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
