Toilet chip repair in Albaston, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Albaston
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Albaston?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL18 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Albaston.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Albaston?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Around Albaston
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Delaware Primary Academy, The Rifle Volunteer pub and Tamar Valley AONB and the streets around them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit

- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
