Toilet chip repair in Canford Cliffs, done in place
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’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Canford Cliffs
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Canford Cliffs
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Canford Cliffs?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Canford Cliffs. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Canford Cliffs?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Canford Cliffs
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
