Need toilet chip repair in Craigiebank?

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Craigiebank

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Craigiebank

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Craigiebank, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip 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 Craigiebank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
