Advice
Toilet chip repair in Ellington Thorpe, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ellington Thorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What we’re called out for in Ellington Thorpe

Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
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 usually cheaper.
