About our toilet chip repair in Sandhead
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

Landlord and trade work in Sandhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Sandhead
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandhead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Sandhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandhead and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Sandhead
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
