Toilet chip repair in Ford

About our toilet chip repair in Ford

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we are called out for in Ford

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Ford

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your L21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
