Toilet chip repair in Froghall, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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 regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Froghall, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Common questions in Froghall
Do you cover Froghall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Froghall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Froghall. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Froghall get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
