Toilet chip repair at your home in Throckley

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. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Throckley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids

Throckley: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Throckley?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
