Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Ulwell, Dorset

Toilet chip repair in Ulwell without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ulwell
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Ulwell and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ulwell. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Ulwell
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
