Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Acomb, Northumberland
Our repair technicians come to Acomb for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Toilet chip repair in Acomb without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Acomb
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
Across the UK, and that includes Acomb. Prices do not change with location.

Prices and what affects them

- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
