Toilet chip repair at your home in Newton Downs
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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 say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For a price in Newton Downs, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What affects the price in Newton Downs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newton Downs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Newton Downs: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Newton Downs?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Newton Downs is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When to call us in Newton Downs

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
