About our toilet chip repair in South Newington
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months in South Newington 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
