Toilet chip repair in Oban, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Questions from Oban
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Oban. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Oban?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Oban from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we are called out for in Oban
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
