Braemar: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Braemar included. Travel is included in the price.
About our toilet chip repair in Braemar
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Covering Braemar
Braemar is about 29 miles north of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Aberdeenshire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Braemar is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Braemar to Edinburgh (about 74 miles away).
All of AB35 is covered. From Cluniebank Road, Balnellan Road and Invercauld Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Spittal of Glenshee (13 miles south), Ballater (14 miles east), Tomintoul (17 miles north), Coylumbridge (19 miles north-west) and Nethy Bridge (20 miles north-west).
Near you in Braemar
Our customers here include homes close to Braemar Parish Church, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Braemar Highland Games Centre (within half a mile west) and Kindrochit Castle (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are Mar Lodge Estate and Creag a' Chleirich.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
