About our toilet chip repair in Muirhead
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Muirhead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Muirhead. The price depends on:
- The type of damage

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Muirhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
