Toilet chip repair in Ford, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
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.

What affects the price in Ford
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ford. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Ford
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
