About our toilet chip repair in Thorntree
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Thorntree
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorntree
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
