Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Upper Wardington?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Wardington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Older homes around Upper Wardington may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
