Toilet chip repair in Thrumster without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Thrumster
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Thrumster
Do you work in Thrumster?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Thrumster and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Thrumster, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
A new 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why Thrumster clients choose us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
