Toilet chip repair in Forestdale, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Forestdale and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Forestdale
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Forestdale
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
