Toilet chip repair at your home in Oldbury
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Repairing versus replacing in Oldbury
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Oldbury: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What we are called out for in Oldbury
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
