How we handle toilet chip repair in Dimsdale
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace in Dimsdale?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Dimsdale
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Dimsdale?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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’ll reply with a fixed price.
