Toilet chip repair in Addiewell, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Addiewell
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Addiewell included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When to call us in Addiewell
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china

What else we do in Addiewell
For landlords and businesses
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
