Toilet chip repair in Aboyne without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Aboyne questions

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.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Aboyne included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Aboyne. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
