When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Toilet chip repair in Grassholme without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grassholme
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Grassholme questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, so Grassholme is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Grassholme?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grassholme from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Grassholme. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
