Repair or replace in Newtown?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Toilet chip repair in Newtown without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What do you need from me?

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
