Toilet chip repair at your home in Beamish
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Beamish
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Beamish
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does toilet chip repair cost?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole toilet
For a price in Beamish, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
