Toilet chip repair in Fordstreet without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You are 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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Fordstreet
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
