How we handle toilet chip repair in Springwell
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Springwell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
