How we handle toilet chip repair in Forsbrook
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 tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Forsbrook
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
