Toilet chip repair at your home in Auldhouse
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Auldhouse?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
