- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Toilet chip repair in Tudhoe without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tudhoe
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Tudhoe?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Tudhoe?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim

Repair or replace in Tudhoe?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
