Toilet chip repair in Newport 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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newport, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Newport
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Newport, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Newport
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
