DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Tollcross
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Tollcross?
A new 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
