How we handle toilet chip repair in Lochgoilhead
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Lochgoilhead?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochgoilhead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
