Toilet chip repair near Pype Hayes

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Toilet chip repair in Pype Hayes, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Pype Hayes

For anyone letting property in or around Pype Hayes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
