Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Toilet chip repair in West Shilvinghampton without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
FAQs for West Shilvinghampton
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Landlord and trade work in West Shilvinghampton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in West Shilvinghampton
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
