Toilet chip repair in Shiremoor

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Shiremoor

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking

FAQs for Shiremoor

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you work in Shiremoor?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
