Toilet chip repair in Ford Green, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Ford Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Ford Green?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
