Toilet chip repair in Hawkesley, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice
Common questions in Hawkesley
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we’re called out for in Hawkesley
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Hawkesley
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hawkesley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
