Toilet chip repair in North Gosforth

About our toilet chip repair in North Gosforth

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months in North Gosforth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

North Gosforth questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including North Gosforth and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in North Gosforth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE3 postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in North Gosforth

If you manage property in North Gosforth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in North Gosforth

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

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. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.
