Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Crook, County Durham

How we handle toilet chip repair in Crook
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we are called out for in Crook
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 before booking.

Crook questions
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Crook?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
