About our toilet chip repair in The Murray

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Murray and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Murray

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Common problems we fix in The Murray

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

The Murray: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in The Murray?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G75 postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover The Murray?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Murray and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
