About our toilet chip repair in Hamworthy

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hamworthy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamworthy as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Hamworthy

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Hamworthy included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Hamworthy?

We do. We send a technician to Hamworthy for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
