How we handle toilet chip repair in Thorpe Langton
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you have damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
In a village like Thorpe Langton, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Langton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Langton
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. For a rural home like those around Thorpe Langton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
