Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bothwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bothwell
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bothwell and across South Lanarkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bothwell. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When to call us in Bothwell
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bothwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
