Toilet chip repair near Davidston

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Davidston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Toilet chip repair in Davidston without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

Should you replace it?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Davidston questions

Do you come to Davidston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Davidston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Davidston

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Davidston. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
