About our toilet chip repair in Newnham
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Newnham?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newnham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Newnham
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Newnham?
We do. We send a technician to Newnham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When to call us in Newnham

- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newnham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
