About our toilet chip repair in Aith

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Aith

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Aith is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Aith?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What affects the price in Aith

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Aith

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
