How we handle toilet chip repair in East Calder
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Advice
Do you need toilet chip repair in East Calder?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
