Toilet chip repair in Dunsdale without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dunsdale and across Redcar and Cleveland. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Dunsdale: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Dunsdale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

Landlord and trade work in Dunsdale

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunsdale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Dunsdale

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
