Toilet chip repair at your home in Shirdley Hill

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shirdley Hill

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shirdley Hill.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What affects the price in Shirdley Hill

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Shirdley Hill

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shirdley Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
