Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Toilet chip repair in Kaimhill, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kaimhill as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Kaimhill
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Kaimhill and the rest of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, 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)
