Toilet chip repair at your home in Pickburn

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Pickburn

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pickburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire toilet

If you are in Pickburn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
