Toilet chip repair in Sighthill without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Sighthill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Sighthill

What we do, step by step

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sighthill

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Sighthill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sighthill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
