Toilet chip repair in Tealing without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Tealing

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
