Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Toilet chip repair in Stanley Crook, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanley Crook and across County Durham. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Stanley Crook
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Stanley Crook?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stanley Crook. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When to call us in Stanley Crook
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
We’d 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
