About our toilet chip repair in Rift House
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hartlepool and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Rift House, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rift House. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Rift House
Do you work in Rift House?
We do. We send a technician to Rift House for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
