Forbes questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Forbes?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
The entire UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Forbes
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.

Should you replace it?
