FAQs for Thornton
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Thornton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Toilet chip repair in Thornton, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
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. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Thornton?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
