Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair in Gaunts, 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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Gaunts and the surrounding area
Gaunts is about 3 miles north of Wimborne Minster, in Dorset. We travel to homes and businesses in Gaunts and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Gaunts is one of 462 places in Dorset where we work.

Neighbouring places we cover include Gaunt's Common (1 mile north-east), Holt (1 mile south-east), Lodge Copse Estate (1 mile east), Pig Oak (1 mile south) and Hinton Martell (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as Christchurch (12 miles south-east), Wimborne Minster (3 miles south), Blandford Forum (8 miles west), Verwood (5 miles north-east), Shaftesbury (15 miles north-west) and Ferndown (4 miles south-east).

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaunts
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Gaunts: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
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.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
