How we handle toilet chip repair in Achiltibuie
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Achiltibuie
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Achiltibuie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
