How we handle toilet chip repair in Roxburgh

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

What affects the price in Roxburgh

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Roxburgh. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Roxburgh

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Roxburgh?

We do. Technicians travel to Roxburgh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
