Toilet chip repair at your home in Norton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
In a village like Norton, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Norton
Replacing a toilet means 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. In an older home in a village like Norton, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Norton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Norton
