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 keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us

Toilet chip repair in Hamsterley Mill, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hamsterley Mill as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hamsterley Mill. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Hamsterley Mill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
