About our toilet chip repair in Fowlis
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fowlis and across Dundee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fowlis. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Do you need toilet chip repair in Fowlis?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

- Damage from dropped items

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
