How we handle toilet chip repair in Inverarnan

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

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 often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Inverarnan

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Inverarnan customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Inverarnan

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.
