Your questions about toilet chip repair in Stour Row
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Stour Row
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 work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stour Row
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stour Row. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Stour Row get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
