About our toilet chip repair in Swinhill
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Swinhill: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Swinhill. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swinhill.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Swinhill
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Swinhill
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Swinhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
