Toilet chip repair in Marston Green without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Marston Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Marston Green
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Marston Green
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 isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
All of Solihull, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Repair or replace in Marston Green?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
