About our toilet chip repair in Falstone
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Somewhere like Falstone, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Falstone and across Northumberland. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Falstone
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Falstone, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Falstone
Do you cover villages like Falstone?
We do: small places like Falstone are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
My house in Falstone is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Falstone.
When to call us in Falstone

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
For older houses around Falstone, near landmarks such as United Reformed Church, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it. For a rural address like Falstone, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the toilet chip repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
