Toilet chip repair in Davidson's Mains without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Davidson's Mains
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Davidson's Mains.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EH4 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
