Advice

Toilet chip repair in Winterborne Monkton without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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