Toilet chip repair in Team Colliery without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Team Colliery. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Team Colliery
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
