Toilet chip repair at your home in Seaton Burn

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Seaton Burn: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Seaton Burn?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you work in Seaton Burn?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Seaton Burn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
