How we handle toilet chip repair in Carbost
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Carbost questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Carbost
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’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
