Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Thrupp, Gloucestershire

How we handle toilet chip repair in Thrupp
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire toilet
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thrupp, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
