The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Toilet chip repair at your home in Iford
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Iford
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Iford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
