Toilet chip repair in Rubery, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Common problems we fix in Rubery
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rubery. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
