- Repairs from £95

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Benhall
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Benhall, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Benhall
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Benhall. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Benhall
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Benhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
