Toilet chip repair at your home in Winterborne Houghton
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Winterborne Houghton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For a price in Winterborne Houghton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
