Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair in Butterwick, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Butterwick
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover Butterwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Butterwick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
