Toilet chip repair in Tolvaddon Downs without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
