About our toilet chip repair in Fulwell
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fulwell and across Sunderland. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Fulwell
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fulwell. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fulwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Fulwell questions
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
