Toilet chip repair at your home in Minterne Magna
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Minterne Magna
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Minterne Magna
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Minterne Magna. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
