How we handle toilet chip repair in Alvechurch
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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Alvechurch
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. 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 booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
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.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Alvechurch
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Alvechurch. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
