How we handle toilet chip repair in Dunston
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

Common questions in Dunston
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Dunston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST18 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
