About our toilet chip repair in Fordham
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Do you need toilet chip repair in Fordham?
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fordham. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
