Toilet chip repair in Goldenacre without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Goldenacre questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Goldenacre
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repair or replace in Goldenacre?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Goldenacre
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
