Trusted toilet chip repair in Prestonfield

Toilet chip repair in Prestonfield without replacing anything

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 will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Prestonfield. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Prestonfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Prestonfield

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prestonfield

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
