Toilet chip repair at your home in Thulston
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thulston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thulston. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Thulston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
