What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Toilet chip repair in Mallaig without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Mallaig?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Mallaig: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
