Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our toilet chip repair in Alciston
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
Somewhere like Alciston, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Alciston: what to know about toilet chip repair

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. In a village or hamlet like Alciston, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Alciston, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
