Toilet chip repair in Galltair, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

Common questions in Galltair
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide, so Galltair is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Galltair, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Galltair
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Galltair
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
