Toilet chip repair in Shotley Common without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Shotley Common
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Shotley Common
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Shotley Common: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Shotley Common is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shotley Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
