How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Clermiston
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Clermiston
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Clermiston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Clermiston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
