Toilet chip repair in Peebles without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Peebles?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

FAQs for Peebles
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What else we do in Peebles
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Peebles, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean 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.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
