Toilet chip repair in Newtown, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Newtown
Do you cover the entire of Wokingham?
We cover the entire UK, including Newtown and the rest of Wokingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Newtown?
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

- Damage from dropped items

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
