Toilet chip repair at your home in Birkenhead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, 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.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Birkenhead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Birkenhead
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Birkenhead?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
