Toilet chip repair in Lochans, done in place

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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Lochans: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochans

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Lochans, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lochans

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

  • Toilet pans

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
