Toilet chip repair at your home in Newbury
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you have damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Somewhere like Newbury, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Replacement in Newbury means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
