Toilet chip repair at your home in Drem
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drem as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Drem
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
