Toilet chip repair in Besthorpe 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. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Besthorpe
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Besthorpe
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Besthorpe. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
