Rubha Ban questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Rubha Ban?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Rubha Ban
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Rubha Ban
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
