Toilet chip repair near Craigens

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Craigens

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Craigens

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Craigens

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of East Ayrshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Craigens included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Craigens. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
