Toilet chip repair in New Quay, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
New Quay: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
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. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

All of SA45 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From High Street, Church Road and Picton Terrace or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Around New Quay, we work in homes near The Queens Hotel and Church of St. Llwchaiarn, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Castell Caer Wedros (2.7 miles south) and New Quay Heritage Centre (under half a mile north-west). Not far away are Allt Cefn Gwyddyl.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Quay
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
