Trusted toilet chip repair in Low Team

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Low Team

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 say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What affects the price in Low Team

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Low Team. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
