Toilet chip repair at your home in Aithsetter
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Aithsetter
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Aithsetter
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Common problems we fix in Aithsetter

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans

- Pedestals

The process
On the day itself, there is 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, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
