About our toilet chip repair in Ashkirk
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Ashkirk, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Ashkirk
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Ashkirk?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ashkirk and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
