Toilet chip repair in Brough, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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 chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Brough
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Brough?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Brough
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Brough
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brough. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
