How we handle toilet chip repair in Dunblane
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dunblane and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
