How we handle toilet chip repair in Pollokshields

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Pollokshields

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Questions from Pollokshields

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Pollokshields?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your G41 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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