Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Carrington without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Carrington

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Carrington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Carrington and the rest of Midlothian. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carrington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
