Toilet chip repair in Alresford, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Alresford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Questions from Alresford
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
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 repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work in Alresford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Alresford and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alresford. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
