About our toilet chip repair in Auldcathie
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Auldcathie
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Lothian.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Auldcathie. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Auldcathie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.
Repairing versus replacing in Auldcathie
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
