Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Swanston, Edinburgh
Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in Swanston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Toilet chip repair in Swanston, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping 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 sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Swanston
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Swanston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH10 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover Swanston?
We do. We send a technician to Swanston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swanston. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
For a price in Swanston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
