When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Niddrie
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Niddrie

What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What affects the price in Niddrie
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related 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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Niddrie
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
