Trusted toilet chip repair in Ettrickbridge

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Toilet chip repair in Ettrickbridge, 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 will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TD7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Ettrickbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

Common questions in Ettrickbridge

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Ettrickbridge?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ettrickbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
