Book toilet chip repair in Walmley

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Toilet chip repair in Walmley, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Walmley: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you work in Walmley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Walmley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B76 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
