Toilet chip repair for Thurton homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Thurton

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Thurton

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thurton. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

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. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
