How we handle toilet chip repair in Newhills
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 will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newhills as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Newhills?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newhills. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
If you are in Newhills and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Newhills: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Newhills?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Newhills.
