About our toilet chip repair in Selborne
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china

Selborne questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
