Toilet chip repair in Strathbungo without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Strathbungo. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Common questions in Strathbungo
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Strathbungo?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Strathbungo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Strathbungo?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

- Chips on the cistern lid

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
