We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.

Repair or replace in Horsleycross Street?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Horsleycross Street, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere like Horsleycross Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there’s no second trip.
