About our toilet chip repair in Foundry
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Foundry customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foundry
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Foundry. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Foundry, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Foundry
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Foundry?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Foundry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
