What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Toilet chip repair in Rubislaw, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Rubislaw
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeen.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rubislaw
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rubislaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Rubislaw
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rubislaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
