Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Toilet chip repair in Port Elphinstone without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Port Elphinstone
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Port Elphinstone
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
