Repairing versus replacing in Hummersknott
A new toilet needs 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. For a home around Hummersknott where the toilet is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Prices start from £95. 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.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Around Hummersknott, most of the toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most chips take a short visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
