How we handle toilet chip repair in Grange Hill
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Grange Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Grange Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Across the UK, and that includes Grange Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Grange Hill
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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 photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
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 you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
