Repair or replace in Portpatrick?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Toilet chip repair at your home in Portpatrick
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Portpatrick

- Damage from dropped items

- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day

- A crack that leaks water

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Portpatrick: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Portpatrick?
We do. We send a technician to Portpatrick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
