Toilet chip repair in Winterborne Stickland without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Winterborne Stickland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Winterborne Stickland
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Winterborne Stickland is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we’re called out for in Winterborne Stickland
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
