Toilet chip repair in Thorley without replacing anything
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 is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thorley. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Thorley
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Thorley?
We do. We send a technician to Thorley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace in Thorley?
A new 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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Thorley

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
