Toilet chip repair in Strachan, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Strachan. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strachan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Strachan
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Landlord and trade work in Strachan
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
