Advice
Toilet chip repair in Dipton, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dipton and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dipton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Dipton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Dipton: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We cover the whole UK, including Dipton and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dipton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
