Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Fellside, Gateshead
Problem with your toilet in Fellside? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Fellside
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fellside as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Fellside
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fellside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
