Toilet chip repair at your home in Slateford
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not 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 is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Slateford
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Slateford. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
