How we handle toilet chip repair in Easington Lane
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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.
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.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Easington Lane
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Easington Lane, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Easington Lane
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
