About our toilet chip repair in Rotten Row

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rotten Row as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Rotten Row

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Solihull.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
