Common questions in Gretna Green
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you come to Gretna Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gretna Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
About our toilet chip repair in Gretna Green
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gretna Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Gretna Green
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
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
