Toilet chip repair at your home in Melbury Osmond
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Melbury Osmond
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
Landlord and trade work in Melbury Osmond
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
