About our toilet chip repair in Cruxton

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cruxton

Replacing a toilet means 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Cruxton customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
