Toilet chip repair in Lochawe without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochawe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Lochawe
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lochawe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochawe
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
