Toilet chip repair in Kimblesworth, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kimblesworth and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Kimblesworth customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.
