Toilet chip repair at your home in Gogar
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
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.

Gogar questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Gogar?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH12 postcode.

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Repair or replace in Gogar?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
