DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Bridge of Dee
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bridge of Dee and across Dumfries and Galloway. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bridge of Dee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bridge of Dee: your questions answered
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Bridge of Dee?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bridge of Dee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Bridge of Dee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think.

What affects the price in Bridge of Dee
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bridge of Dee. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
