Toilet chip repair in Hurworth-on-Tees, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hurworth-on-Tees and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Hurworth-on-Tees

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you come to Hurworth-on-Tees?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hurworth-on-Tees for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Hurworth-on-Tees and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
