Pilrig: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you come to Pilrig?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pilrig for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

About our toilet chip repair in Pilrig

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 will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Pilrig

If you manage property in Pilrig, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Pilrig?

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Pilrig

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

What affects the price in Pilrig

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pilrig. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Pilrig customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
