You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair in Cowie, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you have chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
Rural addresses like Cowie just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Cowie, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Advice
What we are called out for in Cowie
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Cowie, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
