About our toilet chip repair in Bedburn
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not 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.

Common questions in Bedburn
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bedburn. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Bedburn
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bedburn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
