About our toilet chip repair in Thornage

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

In a village like Thornage, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Thornage needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Replacement in Thornage means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our Prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Thornage

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Thornage

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

For older houses around Thornage, near landmarks such as Church of All Saints, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
