How we handle toilet chip repair in Mudeford
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Mudeford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mudeford. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Mudeford?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
