About our toilet chip repair in Burthorpe
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Burthorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Burthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Burthorpe
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you come to Burthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Burthorpe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
