DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Backworth
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Backworth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Backworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What affects the price in Backworth
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Backworth. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Backworth?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Backworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
