Toilet chip repair in Linley without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Linley
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Questions from Linley
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What else we do in Linley
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
