What we cannot put right

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Toilet chip repair in Avongrove without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Lanarkshire.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Avongrove. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
