What affects the price in Pollokshaws
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Toilet chip repair in Pollokshaws without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Pollokshaws
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Pollokshaws?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
