Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Quarrington Hill
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Repair or replace in Quarrington Hill?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Quarrington Hill?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens after I send photos?

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We cover the whole UK, including Quarrington Hill and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
