Toilet chip repair for Muirhouse homes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Muirhouse use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Muirhouse

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Muirhouse as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
