Advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Blackfell
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Blackfell and across Gateshead. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Blackfell
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
