- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Toilet chip repair in High Friarside without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Friarside and across Gateshead. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in High Friarside
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in High Friarside
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for High Friarside?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in High Friarside
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in High Friarside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
