Bromford questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
About our toilet chip repair in Bromford
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
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’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
