Common problems we fix in Biggar

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Facilities teams at buildings such as Biggar High School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Biggar

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

In a smaller place like Biggar, most homes are houses and bungalows, many with suites that have been in for years. A repair keeps a matching suite intact.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Biggar

Can you repair toilets at a school or business in Biggar?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

My house in Biggar is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Normally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we’ll advise.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Biggar?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Biggar and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.

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 about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead. For a home in Biggar, we normally park close by and start straight away.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Biggar?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In a smaller place like Biggar, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.

Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our Pricing.

What affects the price in Biggar

Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Biggar, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
