Toilet chip repair in Motcombe, 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 will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Motcombe and across Dorset. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Motcombe

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Clients normally contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Motcombe

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Motcombe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Motcombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
