Toilet chip repair at your home in Govan

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Govan?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Govan: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Govan

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Govan?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
