  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hightae

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Hightae

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Hightae?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hightae. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hightae?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
