Toilet chip repair in Dorcan without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dorcan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Dorcan?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dorcan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
