Toilet chip repair at your home in Newland
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Newland
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newland
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Newland: your questions answered
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Newland?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newland and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Newland?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
