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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in High Urpeth, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for High Urpeth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
