About our toilet chip repair in Langley Moor

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langley Moor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Langley Moor, and we will reply with a fixed price.
