About our toilet chip repair in Haydon Bridge

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 say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Haydon Bridge. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haydon Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Haydon Bridge questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
