Toilet chip repair in Kilbirnie without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common problems we fix in Kilbirnie

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
