Toilet chip repair in Newlands, done in place
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’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newlands and across Glasgow. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Newlands
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Common problems we fix in Newlands

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.

- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
