Toilet chip repair in Castleside, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t 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 is what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Castleside. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Castleside questions
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We cover the whole UK, including Castleside and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
