How we handle toilet chip repair in Castle Eden
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Castle Eden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Castle Eden
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Castle Eden questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Castle Eden and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
