Toilet chip repair in Craigcrook

How we handle toilet chip repair in Craigcrook

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Craigcrook

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Craigcrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Craigcrook

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
