The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Morningside without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Morningside questions

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repair or replace in Morningside?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Morningside

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Morningside. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Morningside

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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