Broughton questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Broughton?
We do. Technicians travel to Broughton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Toilet chip repair in Broughton, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Broughton
Landlord and trade work in Broughton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Our work in Broughton
Broughton is about 1 mile north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We visit homes and businesses in Broughton and nearby villages, so nothing has to leave your home. Broughton is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover.
All of EH7, EH1 and EH3 is covered. Streets in the area include York Lane, Meuse Lane and Canon Lane, all of which we cover. Broughton is on the A900, which makes it straightforward to reach. Nearby, we also work in Gayfield (1 mile north-east), Greenside (1 mile south-east), Bellevue (1 mile north-west), New Town (1 mile west) and Canonmills (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Queensferry (8 miles west), South Portobello (3 miles east), Southhouse (4 miles south), Gilmerton (4 miles south-east), Muirhouse (3 miles west) and Slateford (3 miles south-west). Being one of Edinburgh’s larger places, Broughton is somewhere we visit often.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Broughton
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we’re called out for in Broughton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the 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.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
For a price in Broughton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
