About our toilet chip repair in Newnham Murren
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Newnham Murren
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Newnham Murren.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Newnham Murren?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX10 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Newnham Murren?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

What else we do in Newnham Murren
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
