When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

Toilet chip repair in Thorpe Tilney without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Thorpe Tilney

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Thorpe Tilney?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thorpe Tilney. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe Tilney. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
