About our toilet chip repair in Kirkton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Kirkton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Kirkton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Kirkton
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
