Toilet chip repair at your home in Higher Row
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Higher Row. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Higher Row get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher Row
A new 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Higher Row
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
