- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Fordington
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Fordington?
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Fordington
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Fordington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fordington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Fordington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Fordington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
If you’re in Fordington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
