Alwoodley questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Alwoodley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alwoodley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Toilet chip repair in Alwoodley, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Alwoodley
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
