About our toilet chip repair in Oxgangs
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oxgangs and across Edinburgh. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Oxgangs: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Oxgangs. Prices don’t change with location.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What else we do in Oxgangs
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Oxgangs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Oxgangs
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
