Toilet chip repair in Dorchester without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Dorchester
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Dorchester?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Dorchester
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Dorchester
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
