Toilet chip repair in Pencaitland, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Pencaitland: your questions answered
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pencaitland
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price.
