Toilet chip repair in Wall Nook, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Wall Nook

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Wall Nook: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Wall Nook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
