Toilet chip repair at your home in Ruthven
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 say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Ruthven
Ruthven: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Ruthven?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ruthven. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Ruthven and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What affects the price in Ruthven
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ruthven. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you manage property in Ruthven, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
