How we handle toilet chip repair in Kelvinside
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Kelvinside
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Kelvinside
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Kelvinside
If you manage property in Kelvinside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
