Toilet chip repair in Thorns Beach, done in place
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Thorns Beach
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Thorns Beach?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thorns Beach and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Thorns Beach?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO42 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorns Beach
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
