About our toilet chip repair in Musselburgh
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Musselburgh questions
Do you cover Musselburgh?
We do. We send a technician to Musselburgh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Musselburgh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
