Landlords, agents and businesses in Leadgate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Toilet chip repair in Leadgate without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Leadgate
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Porcelain
- Pedestals
