Toilet chip repair in Barmston without replacing anything
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 tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barmston and across Sunderland. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Barmston
Can pets and children be at home?

What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Barmston. Prices do not change with location.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE38 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match

- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Related advice
Repair or replace in Barmston?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
