Common questions in Craigmillar
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Craigmillar is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
About our toilet chip repair in Craigmillar
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Craigmillar
If you manage property in Craigmillar, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Craigmillar. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Craigmillar, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
