About our toilet chip repair in Thorpe by Water
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorpe by Water and across Rutland. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Thorpe by Water: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work in Thorpe by Water?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thorpe by Water from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Thorpe by Water
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorpe by Water. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe by Water
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
