Toilet chip repair at your home in Gorgie
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Gorgie
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gorgie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Gorgie?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
