Toilet chip repair at your home in South Gyle
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Gyle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in South Gyle
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in South Gyle?
We do. We send a technician to South Gyle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What affects the price in South Gyle
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
