Toilet chip repair in Chilton without replacing anything
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’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chilton and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Chilton
A new 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 how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Common problems we fix in Chilton

- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
