Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Smeaton, East Lothian

About our toilet chip repair in Smeaton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Smeaton and want a price, 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.
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. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smeaton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
