About our toilet chip repair in Alverstone
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Alverstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alverstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alverstone. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
If you are in Alverstone and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Advice
Common questions in Alverstone
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Alverstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Alverstone included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
