How we handle toilet chip repair in Drumchapel
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Drumchapel and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Drumchapel
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Drumchapel. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire toilet
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Drumchapel questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Drumchapel?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Drumchapel. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
