How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thursby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair in Thursby without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Thursby
When to call us in Thursby
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Thursby
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
