Trusted toilet chip repair in Alford

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Alford

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Alford

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Alford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Alford. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LN13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
