How we handle toilet chip repair in East Kyo
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Common problems we fix in East Kyo
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for any of the following:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim

Questions from East Kyo
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
