How we handle toilet chip repair in Auchinairn
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Auchinairn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
