Toilet chip repair in Milton of Buchanan without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You’re 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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Milton of Buchanan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
