Toilet chip repair in New Boston, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to New Boston. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Related advice
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
