Toilet chip repair in Newbourne, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Newbourne

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Landlord and trade work in Newbourne

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbourne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
