Toilet chip repair in Newry without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
In a large place like Newry, many bathrooms have matching suites, so repairing one damaged piece keeps the set together.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. In a large place like Newry, parking near town-centre homes can be tight, so tell us if there is a driveway or permit parking. Outside the centre, it’s rarely an issue.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space clear if you can

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Newry
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Newry?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. For landlords in Newry, replacement can also mean a longer gap between tenants, whereas a repair is normally a one-day job.
Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Newry: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
