Book toilet chip repair in Dunston

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Toilet chip repair in Dunston without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Dunston

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Dunston included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Dunston

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before booking

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Dunston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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.
