How we handle toilet chip repair in Tarves
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tarves
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Tarves?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Tarves?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Tarves
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tarves. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tarves, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Tarves, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
