Toilet chip repair in Lochinver, done in place
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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

Questions from Lochinver
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Lochinver?
We do. Technicians travel to Lochinver from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Lochinver, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Lochinver
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
