Toilet chip repair in Newton, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Newton

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

Common questions in Newton

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Newton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
