About our toilet chip repair in Sherburn House
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sherburn House and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Sherburn House
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Prices and what affects them

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Sherburn House
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
