How we handle toilet chip repair in Thorpefield
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpefield
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpefield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Thorpefield
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
