- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Toilet chip repair in Eccleshill, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Eccleshill questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What else we do in Eccleshill
Do you need toilet chip repair in Eccleshill?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
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 will say what we think before you book.
