- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
How we handle toilet chip repair in Glenelg
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Glenelg
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Glenelg?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glenelg and the rest of Highland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We cover the whole UK, including Glenelg and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Glenelg
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Glenelg. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Glenelg. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Glenelg, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
