Questions from Portnahaven
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to Portnahaven?
We do. We send a technician to Portnahaven for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Portnahaven
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portnahaven and across Argyll and Bute. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Portnahaven

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Portnahaven?

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
