Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Cockburnspath
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Cockburnspath
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
