What we can’t put right

In fairness, 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)

Toilet chip repair in Tarland without replacing anything

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tarland as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tarland. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Choosing a repair company

Tarland: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

We cover the entire UK, including Tarland and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
