Toilet chip repair in Old Monkland without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Monkland and across North Lanarkshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Old Monkland
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Monkland
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
