How we handle toilet chip repair in Auchtertyre
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Auchtertyre: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Repair or replace in Auchtertyre?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
