Toilet chip repair in Swyre

Toilet chip repair at your home in Swyre

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Swyre

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Swyre included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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.

Do you come to Swyre?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swyre for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swyre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Swyre customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swyre. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
