Toilet chip repair in Ham

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ham

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 tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Ham

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ham

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ham

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

Choosing a repair company

Ham questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Ham

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
