Common questions in Dalry

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Dalry?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dalry. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dalry.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Dalry

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Dalry?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in Dalry

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
