Toilet chip repair in Craghead without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Craghead
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Craghead?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craghead
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
