How we handle toilet chip repair in Alweston
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alweston. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
