Toilet chip repair in Thornton Watlass without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Thornton Watlass questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Thornton Watlass?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornton Watlass. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
