Toilet chip repair in Broughty Ferry

Repair or replace in Broughty Ferry?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Broughty Ferry

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

Whether we combine several jobs
The type of damage
How easy the damage is to reach
What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
A wider photo showing the entire toilet
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

Cisterns & lids
Pedestals
Toilet pans
Porcelain
Vitreous china

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 usually cheaper.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Broughty Ferry

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Broughty Ferry.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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 fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
