About our toilet chip repair in Bowburn
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bowburn. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Bowburn
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bowburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
