About our toilet chip repair in Upper Heyford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Heyford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Upper Heyford

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions from Upper Heyford

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upper Heyford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
