Toilet chip repair at your home in Solihull
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Common problems we fix in Solihull
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Solihull
Common questions in Solihull
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of Solihull?
We cover the entire UK, including Solihull and the rest of Solihull. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Solihull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
