About our toilet chip repair in Lintzford
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lintzford and across Gateshead. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Lintzford: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gateshead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Lintzford
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.
