Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thurgarton. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Toilet chip repair in Thurgarton without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Thurgarton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Thurgarton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Thurgarton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Thurgarton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
