The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Thurvaston
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thurvaston and across Derbyshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Thurvaston
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Thurvaston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Thurvaston
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurvaston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
