Toilet chip repair in Isbister, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Isbister questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlord and trade work in Isbister
For anyone letting property in or around Isbister, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
