Toilet chip repair in Gifford without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Gifford
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gifford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Gifford

People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Gifford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
