Toilet chip repair at your home in Dunton Bassett
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Dunton Bassett: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What else we do in Dunton Bassett
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
