How we handle toilet chip repair in Allerthorpe
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
In a village like Allerthorpe, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Allerthorpe
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Replacement in Allerthorpe means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Allerthorpe, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allerthorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
