About our toilet chip repair in Braidwood
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Braidwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Braidwood
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Braidwood and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
Repair or replace in Braidwood?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
