Toilet chip repair in High Forge without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally 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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
For a price in High Forge, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t 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)

Repairing versus replacing in High Forge
A new toilet means 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
