How we handle toilet chip repair in Gairloch
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Gairloch: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Gairloch
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Gairloch
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Other services in Gairloch
What a repair cannot fix

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Repairing versus replacing in Gairloch
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Covering Gairloch

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
