Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
We sand it flush.
We match the colour to the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.

Advice

About our toilet chip repair in Ingliston

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Ingliston

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ingliston included. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Ingliston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Ingliston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ingliston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

Toilet pans
Porcelain
Vitreous china
Cisterns & lids
Pedestals

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingliston

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
