Toilet chip repair in Frome Vauchurch without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Frome Vauchurch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

Frome Vauchurch questions

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Frome Vauchurch?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Frome Vauchurch?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Frome Vauchurch and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
