Toilet chip repair in Houghton-le-Spring without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Houghton-le-Spring and across Sunderland. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
