When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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)

Toilet chip repair at your home in Burnbrae
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Burnbrae and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Burnbrae: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace in Burnbrae?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
