About our toilet chip repair in Bruntsfield

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bruntsfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Bruntsfield

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Bruntsfield and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans

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. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Bruntsfield clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
