Repair or replace in Tow Law?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Tow Law
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Tow Law
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.
