DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle toilet chip repair in West Reading
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Reading and across Reading. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
