Toilet chip repair in Burghmuirhead

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Toilet chip repair in Burghmuirhead, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burghmuirhead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burghmuirhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
