How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Gowkthrapple
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Gowkthrapple questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Gowkthrapple?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gowkthrapple for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Gowkthrapple

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gowkthrapple. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
