Toilet chip repair at your home in Thursford
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Thursford: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Thursford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Thursford?
We do. We send a technician to Thursford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Thursford
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in Thursford
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
