- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
About our toilet chip repair in Holyrood
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Holyrood customers choose us

- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Holyrood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Holyrood: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Holyrood?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Holyrood
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
