About our toilet chip repair in Tuckton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Tuckton?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tuckton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Tuckton questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Tuckton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
