Toilet chip repair in Chollerford, done in place
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 will say so if we find one. If you have marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right.
In a village like Chollerford, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chollerford and across Northumberland. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Chollerford?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Chollerford, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chollerford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
