Toilet chip repair in Newtown, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
