Toilet chip repair in Thornthwaite, done in place
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. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thornthwaite as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Thornthwaite
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornthwaite
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When to call us in Thornthwaite

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
