Book toilet chip repair in Moffat

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Moffat

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our work in Moffat

Moffat is about 19 miles north of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you are not left waiting in all day. We cover all 138 towns and villages in Dumfries and Galloway, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Moffat to Edinburgh (43 miles away).

Here we cover the DG10 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, Mansfield Place and Star Street and the roads around them. Moffat sits on or near the A701 and A708, which makes travel easy. Nearby, we also work in Beattock (2 miles south), Newton Wamphray (7 miles south), Johnstonebridge (8 miles south), Elvanfoot (11 miles north-west) and Crawford (12 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Lockerbie (15 miles south), Lochmaben (14 miles south) and Thornhill (14 miles south-west). As one of the bigger places in Dumfries and Galloway, Moffat sees plenty of our work.

Landmarks near Moffat

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moffat as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Moffat. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Moffat customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
