About our toilet chip repair in Chapel of Garioch

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

For a rural address like Chapel of Garioch, tell us about access and parking, and we will plan the visit around it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Chapel of Garioch

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. In a village or hamlet like Chapel of Garioch, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chapel of Garioch, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
