Toilet chip repair at your home in Alvescot
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Alvescot get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Alvescot
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work

Repairing versus replacing in Alvescot
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
