Related advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Fordyce

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Fordyce

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Fordyce

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Fordyce

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fordyce use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
