Toilet chip repair in Alveston without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alveston. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
FAQs for Alveston
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
