How we handle toilet chip repair in Broomhouse

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broomhouse as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Broomhouse

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Broomhouse?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace in Broomhouse?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broomhouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
