Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Pennywell, Sunderland

How we handle toilet chip repair in Pennywell
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pennywell. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pennywell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Pennywell
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t 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.
