Toilet chip repair in Whitehouse Common, done in place
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 say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Questions from Whitehouse Common
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Repair or replace in Whitehouse Common?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
