Toilet chip repair in Thorington Street without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Somewhere like Thorington Street, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorington Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Thorington Street
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorington Street
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Replacement in Thorington Street means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us

- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
