Repairing versus replacing in Burnham Thorpe

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Toilet chip repair at your home in Burnham Thorpe

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Burnham Thorpe

For anyone letting property in or around Burnham Thorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
