About our toilet chip repair in Thurlby
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thurlby as everywhere else we work. 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 don’t charge extra for travel to Thurlby. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Thurlby questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Thurlby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurlby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurlby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
