  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

About our toilet chip repair in Lea Heath

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lea Heath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Lea Heath questions

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you come to Lea Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lea Heath. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Lea Heath?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.
