Fixed-price toilet chip repair in Humbie and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.

- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
How we handle toilet chip repair in Humbie
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Humbie
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
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 to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids

Humbie: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should you replace it?
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. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
