Toilet chip repair in Nisbet, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nisbet and across the Scottish Borders. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Nisbet questions
Do you come to Nisbet?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Nisbet and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Nisbet. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Nisbet
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Nisbet
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
