About our toilet chip repair in Thrupe
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Thrupe questions
Do you come to Thrupe?
We do. We send a technician to Thrupe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Thrupe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Repairing versus replacing in Thrupe
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
