Toilet chip repair for Archdeacon Newton homes

About our toilet chip repair in Archdeacon Newton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Archdeacon Newton

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Darlington.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Archdeacon Newton?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
