How we handle toilet chip repair in Ranfurly
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common questions in Ranfurly
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Ranfurly is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Ranfurly, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Renfrewshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
