How we handle toilet chip repair in Barkby Thorpe
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Barkby Thorpe
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
