About our toilet chip repair in Liberton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Liberton
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

We do. Technicians travel to Liberton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
