Toilet chip repair in Black Crofts without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Black Crofts
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Black Crofts?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Black Crofts and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Black Crofts
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Black Crofts. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Black Crofts. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
