About our toilet chip repair in Fornham St Martin
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Fornham St Martin, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fornham St Martin as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
