How we handle toilet chip repair in Ripley
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Ripley
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Ripley
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Ripley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ripley and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ripley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Ripley
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
