Repair or replace in Jarrow?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Jarrow
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Jarrow
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Jarrow. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Tyneside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Jarrow
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
