Book toilet chip repair in Milton Bridge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our toilet chip repair in Milton Bridge

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Milton Bridge and across Midlothian. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
