About our toilet chip repair in Clachan
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Clachan questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Common problems we fix in Clachan
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace in Clachan?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clachan
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
