Toilet chip repair in Eldon Lane, done in place
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 the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Eldon Lane questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Eldon Lane?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
