Toilet chip repair in Alfold, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Alfold
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Alfold?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Alfold and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Landlord and trade work in Alfold
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Alfold?
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.

What affects the price in Alfold
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
