How we handle toilet chip repair in Selly Oak

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays 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. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Selly Oak

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Selly Oak?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B29 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selly Oak

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Selly Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
