Oldbury questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Oldbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oldbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
About our toilet chip repair in Oldbury
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oldbury as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Our visits in B68, B69, B67 and B65 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as Langley High Street, Station Road and Church Square and the roads around them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Oldbury
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Oldbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
