Toilet chip repair in Great Lumley, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Great Lumley: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Great Lumley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Lumley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Great Lumley
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
