How we handle toilet chip repair in Hillhead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it

FAQs for Hillhead
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
