Toilet chip repair in Copley without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Copley and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Copley questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Copley
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
