About our toilet chip repair in Pleck

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Pleck

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

Common questions in Pleck

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pleck. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Pleck?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Pleck?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pleck and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
