Toilet chip repair in Branstone without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Branstone
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Branstone is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you come to Branstone?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Branstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Branstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Branstone
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
