Ceann Loch Gilb questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you come to Ceann Loch Gilb?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ceann Loch Gilb for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Ceann Loch Gilb?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA31 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
About our toilet chip repair in Ceann Loch Gilb
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Ceann Loch Gilb
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
