How we handle toilet chip repair in Colinton Mains
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Colinton Mains
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Colinton Mains?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What else we do in Colinton Mains
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Colinton Mains, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Colinton Mains
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
