Toilet chip repair in Clovenstone

Toilet chip repair in Clovenstone, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Clovenstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Clovenstone: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Clovenstone. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Clovenstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clovenstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
