Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Alnwick, 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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas

- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Alnwick questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Alnwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Alnwick and the rest of Northumberland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
