Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Eastgate, County Durham
Problem with your toilet in Eastgate? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Toilet chip repair in Eastgate, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eastgate as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Eastgate. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 price, not a guess.

Eastgate: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Eastgate included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Eastgate
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
