Toilet chip repair at your home in Pulham
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pulham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When to call us in Pulham

Common reasons people in Pulham contact us are:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Pulham
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Pulham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pulham and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Pulham
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky 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

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
