Toilet chip repair in Shotts

How the visit 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 an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For a price in Shotts, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Toilet chip repair in Shotts without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shotts and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shotts

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

What affects the price in Shotts

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Shotts get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
