Toilet chip repair in Wantage without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we are called out for in Wantage

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wantage

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Wantage get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Wantage: your questions answered

Do you come to Wantage?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wantage. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Wantage?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wantage

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
