What affects the price in Dickens Heath

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dickens Heath. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Toilet chip repair in Dickens Heath, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Solihull. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Our hiring checklist

Dickens Heath questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover Dickens Heath?

We do. We send a technician to Dickens Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Solihull?

Across the UK, and that includes Dickens Heath. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
