What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Mid Calder
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Mid Calder?
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Mid Calder questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Mid Calder?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Mid Calder
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mid Calder. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
