About our toilet chip repair in Newtown
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Newtown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.
