Toilet chip repair in Smestow, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we are called out for in Smestow
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Smestow: your questions answered
Do you work in Smestow?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Smestow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Smestow

What affects the price in Smestow
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Smestow, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
