  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Eliburn, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eliburn. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Eliburn

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eliburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Eliburn clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Eliburn

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eliburn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Eliburn

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, so Eliburn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
