How we handle toilet chip repair in Locks Heath

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Locks Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Locks Heath?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not 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.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we are called out for in Locks Heath

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

FAQs for Locks Heath

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Locks Heath?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Locks Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
