About our toilet chip repair in Croft-on-Tees
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Croft-on-Tees and across Darlington. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Croft-on-Tees
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Croft-on-Tees?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
