Toilet chip repair at your home in Newton Tracey
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Newton Tracey: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Newton Tracey?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
