Toilet chip repair for Gateshead Fell homes

What affects the price in Gateshead Fell

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gateshead Fell

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Gateshead Fell

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gateshead Fell

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 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, then guarantee it for a year.
