We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Toilet chip repair in Durlston, done in place
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 will say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Common problems we fix in Durlston
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, 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.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
