Toilet Chip Repair in Newton Rigg
Our technicians come to Newton Rigg for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Newton Rigg
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Newton Rigg?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newton Rigg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
