Toilet chip repair at your home in Chickerell

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Chickerell

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Chickerell

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Chickerell

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Chickerell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Chickerell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chickerell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.

What affects the price in Chickerell

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
