Toilet chip repair in High Pittington, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Pittington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about toilet chip repair in High Pittington
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, High Pittington included. Travel is included in the price.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
