How we handle toilet chip repair in Prestonpans
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Prestonpans
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer

How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
