About our toilet chip repair in Fourstones
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’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
In a village like Fourstones, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Fourstones: your questions answered
My house in Fourstones is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from photos.
Will you travel to Fourstones?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE47 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
