DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Auchenhowie
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Dunbartonshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Auchenhowie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
