How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Craigton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Repairing versus replacing in Craigton
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Craigton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
