Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Craigentinny, Edinburgh
We travel to Craigentinny for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Craigentinny
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Craigentinny questions
Are there extra charges for Craigentinny?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigentinny
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Craigentinny
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
