Problem with your toilet in Southburn? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Toilet chip repair in Southburn without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
Somewhere like Southburn, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Southburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Southburn, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
