About our toilet chip repair in Greenside
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Greenside. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
FAQs for Greenside
Are you a vetted contractor?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Does someone need to be in?

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
