Toilet chip repair for Mintlaw homes

Toilet chip repair in Mintlaw without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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, porcelain and pedestals.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mintlaw as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Mintlaw

If you manage property in Mintlaw, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
