Toilet chip repair in Newnham without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Newnham questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newnham. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
