How we handle toilet chip repair in Gosforth
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gosforth and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Gosforth
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Gosforth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gosforth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Gosforth
A new toilet needs 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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
