Toilet chip repair in Branksome without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Branksome
When to call us in Branksome
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Branksome. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
