Toilet chip repair in Kirkpatrick Durham, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Other services in Kirkpatrick Durham
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkpatrick Durham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkpatrick Durham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirkpatrick Durham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- 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.

- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Most clients in Kirkpatrick Durham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Kirkpatrick Durham
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
