- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Ham clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before booking

Toilet chip repair in Ham, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire toilet
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Ham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Other services in Ham
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Ham questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
