- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Ardminish
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ardminish and across Argyll and Bute. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Ardminish
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
