Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Muirhouse, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
