How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hermiston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair in Hermiston, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Hermiston: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When to call us in Hermiston
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hermiston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Hermiston?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hermiston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Hermiston customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
