About our toilet chip repair in Aston
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aston and across Shropshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Aston
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Aston
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Aston
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Aston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
