What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Toilet chip repair in Little Canford, 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 say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Canford and across Dorset. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Little Canford: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Honest limits

We won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Little Canford

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Little Canford

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Little Canford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
