Need toilet chip repair in Fontmell Magna?

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

Toilet chip repair in Fontmell Magna without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Fontmell Magna

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fontmell Magna. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Fontmell Magna

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work in Fontmell Magna?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Fontmell Magna and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Are there extra charges for Fontmell Magna?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Fontmell Magna

If you manage property in Fontmell Magna, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
