Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Thorndon Cross
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Thorndon Cross
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Thorndon Cross?
We do. We send a technician to Thorndon Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thorndon Cross included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Thorndon Cross
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Landlord and trade work in Thorndon Cross
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
