Landlord and trade work in Aldbrough St John
For anyone letting property in or around Aldbrough St John, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Toilet chip repair in Aldbrough St John, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in Aldbrough St John
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Aldbrough St John
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One price list for the entire UK
