Toilet chip repair at your home in Ridsdale
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ridsdale and across Northumberland. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Ridsdale: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ridsdale.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Ridsdale, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Ridsdale

Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
