Questions from Kilmun
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Argyll and Bute.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Toilet chip repair in Kilmun, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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 are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Local landmarks in Kilmun

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Kilmun
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What else we do in Kilmun
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Landlord and trade work in Kilmun
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Kilmun, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Kilmun
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
