Toilet chip repair in Street Gate, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Street Gate
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Street Gate. Prices don’t change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you cover Street Gate?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Street Gate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Street Gate. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
