Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Springbourne, Bournemouth

Toilet chip repair at your home in Springbourne
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Springbourne
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What affects the price in Springbourne
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Springbourne and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
