Toilet chip repair in Ford

Toilet chip repair in Ford without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Ford?

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
