Toilet chip repair in Saughton, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Saughton
Do you cover Saughton?
We do. We send a technician to Saughton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Saughton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saughton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saughton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Saughton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means 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. 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.
