How we handle toilet chip repair in Old Craighall
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Craighall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Old Craighall questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Old Craighall and the rest of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Old Craighall?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Old Craighall?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Common reasons people in Old Craighall contact us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
