We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Platt's Heath
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Somewhere like Platt's Heath, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. 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:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Platt's Heath
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Facilities teams at buildings such as Platts Heath Primary School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Older homes around Platt's Heath may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. Somewhere as small as Platt's Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Platt's Heath: your questions answered
Can you repair toilets at a school or business in Platt's Heath?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send photos and details of the building.
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Platt's Heath?
Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
