About our toilet chip repair in The Heath
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from The Heath
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover The Heath?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Are there extra charges for The Heath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What we are called out for in The Heath

Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- Damage from dropped items

- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in The Heath?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in The Heath
Landlord and trade work in The Heath
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
