Toilet Chip Repair for Currie homes
We travel to Currie for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Toilet chip repair in Currie without replacing anything
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 will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
When to call us in Currie
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What affects the price in Currie
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Currie. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Currie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Currie
Replacing a toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Currie questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Currie?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
