Toilet chip repair in Craigellachie without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Craigellachie?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Craigellachie. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Craigellachie get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Craigellachie
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Craigellachie?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
