Toilet chip repair at your home in Thornhaugh
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhaugh
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Thornhaugh clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Thornhaugh: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Thornhaugh?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thornhaugh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
