Toilet chip repair at your home in Westgate
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Westgate and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Westgate
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Westgate?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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 fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Westgate
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Westgate. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Westgate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
