Toilet chip repair in Tholthorpe, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Tholthorpe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tholthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Tholthorpe: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
