About our toilet chip repair in Old Kilpatrick
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Old Kilpatrick
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Old Kilpatrick get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Other services in Old Kilpatrick
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Old Kilpatrick
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
