About our toilet chip repair in Thorpe Green
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thorpe Green and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise 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
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Thorpe Green?
Replacing a 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. 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 doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
