About our toilet chip repair in Durweston
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace in Durweston?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Durweston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
