Toilet chip repair near Cerne Abbas

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Toilet chip repair in Cerne Abbas without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cerne Abbas, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses 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.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Cerne Abbas: your questions answered

Do you work in Cerne Abbas?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Cerne Abbas

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
