Toilet chip repair at your home in Crossgate
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crossgate and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Crossgate
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Crossgate?
We do. Technicians travel to Crossgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Crossgate. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

Other services in Crossgate
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Crossgate
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
