Toilet chip repair in Govanhill, done in place
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses

FAQs for Govanhill
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
We work UK-wide, so Govanhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Govanhill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
