How we handle toilet chip repair in Chesser
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chesser and across Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chesser. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Chesser, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Chesser
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
