Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenlaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Greenlaw

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Greenlaw

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Greenlaw

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Greenlaw

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenlaw as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
