Trusted toilet chip repair in New Town

Toilet chip repair at your home in New Town

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Town and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need toilet chip repair in New Town?

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire toilet

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in New Town?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
