For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Toilet chip repair in Albury without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Albury. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Albury
Do you come to Albury?
We do. We send a technician to Albury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
