Toilet chip repair at your home in Ford End
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about 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.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ford End
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Related advice
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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Ford End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
