Usworth: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Usworth
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Usworth

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Usworth. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
