About our toilet chip repair in Oborne
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Oborne
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oborne
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oborne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Oborne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
