Trusted toilet chip repair in Queensferry

Toilet chip repair at your home in Queensferry

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Queensferry questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

Do you work in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Queensferry and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Queensferry. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

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 no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Queensferry

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Queensferry customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Queensferry

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Queensferry as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Queensferry

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
