Toilet chip repair at your home in Tongue
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Tongue questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Highland.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
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. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

- Chips on the cistern lid

- Damage from dropped items

- Who will actually do the work

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
