Toilet chip repair in Grindon without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Grindon?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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.

FAQs for Grindon
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Grindon. Prices do not change with location.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
