Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Duddingston. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
About our toilet chip repair in Duddingston
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duddingston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Duddingston
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Duddingston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
