How we handle toilet chip repair in Beswick
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
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.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Beswick
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Beswick?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
