Toilet chip repair in Riddrie without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Riddrie
Riddrie questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Riddrie?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Riddrie and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Riddrie. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Riddrie
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 keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
