When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Freethorpe
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Toilet chip repair at your home in Freethorpe
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Freethorpe?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Repairing versus replacing in Freethorpe
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Freethorpe: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Freethorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Freethorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Freethorpe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
