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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Locharbriggs use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
About our toilet chip repair in Locharbriggs
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Do you need toilet chip repair in Locharbriggs?
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone

- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Locharbriggs. The price reflects:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
