About our toilet chip repair in High Etherley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Etherley and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about toilet chip repair in High Etherley
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in High Etherley

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why High Etherley clients choose us

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Etherley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
For a price in High Etherley, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 will not last.
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.
