Toilet chip repair in Fornham All Saints without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Fornham All Saints
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Fornham All Saints questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Fornham All Saints?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Fornham All Saints from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fornham All Saints. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
