Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wheatley Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wheatley Hill. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Wheatley Hill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheatley Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Wheatley Hill questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
