About our toilet chip repair in Alton Priors
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
In and around Alton Priors, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

What affects the price in Alton Priors
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
