Toilet chip repair near Harborne

Toilet chip repair in Harborne without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Harborne

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Harborne

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Harborne?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Harborne.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Harborne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harborne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
