What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash

Toilet chip repair at your home in Salsburgh
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.
Rural addresses like Salsburgh just need a little planning, and we will plan the visit around it.

Repairing versus replacing in Salsburgh
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Salsburgh, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
