Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Clapgate, Dorset
We travel to Clapgate for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Clapgate
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 tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

FAQs for Clapgate
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Clapgate is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace in Clapgate?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clapgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
