Toilet chip repair in Thwaite without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Somewhere like Thwaite, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Older homes around Thwaite may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of Saint Mary, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Thwaite
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
