Toilet chip repair in Great Thurlow without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Thurlow
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
