Toilet chip repair at your home in Ford
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Ford?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
