Trusted toilet chip repair in Rodbaston

Toilet chip repair in Rodbaston, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Rodbaston

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Rodbaston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rodbaston and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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 next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repair or replace in Rodbaston?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Rodbaston

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rodbaston. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
