How we handle toilet chip repair in Ham

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 say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Ham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

What the surface is made of
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Where you are, by postcode
A picture taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional 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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
We sand it flush.
We colour-match and finish the glaze.
The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Keep a parking space free if you can
Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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 will give you a straight answer.

Ham: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Ham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repair or replace in Ham?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
