About our toilet chip repair in Polesworth
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Polesworth
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Polesworth. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your B78 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Polesworth
Repairing versus replacing in Polesworth
Replacing a 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Polesworth

Landlords, agents and businesses in Polesworth
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Polesworth: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Polesworth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Polesworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
