How we handle toilet chip repair in Sandend
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 will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Sandend
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Landlord and trade work in Sandend
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Sandend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What else we do in Sandend
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Sandend
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for these signs:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
