Toilet chip repair in Pokesdown, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.

Advice
Pokesdown questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Landlord and trade work in Pokesdown

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Pokesdown
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
