Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair at your home in Dalwhinnie

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dalwhinnie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

FAQs for Dalwhinnie

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dalwhinnie and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
