Toilet chip repair at your home in Parkhead
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

FAQs for Parkhead
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Parkhead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
