How we handle toilet chip repair in East Kilbride
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you need toilet chip repair in East Kilbride?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
