Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Claxby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair in Claxby, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Claxby and across Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Claxby
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
When to call us in Claxby
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
