Toilet chip repair in Newtown without replacing anything
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 will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Newtown
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
