Toilet chip repair in Head of Muir, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Head of Muir questions

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Head of Muir?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Head of Muir. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Head of Muir

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
