Toilet chip repair in Torphichen without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Torphichen: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What else we do in Torphichen
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Torphichen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
