Toilet chip repair for Stirchley homes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Toilet chip repair in Stirchley, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stirchley. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Stirchley?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Stirchley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Stirchley

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Stirchley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B30 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

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

What we work on

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
