Toilet chip repair near Portland Bill

Toilet chip repair in Portland Bill, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Portland Bill and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portland Bill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portland Bill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
