How we handle toilet chip repair in Thorpe Bay
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

Questions from Thorpe Bay
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Thorpe Bay?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Thorpe Bay
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorpe Bay. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
