Toilet chip repair in Torry, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t 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. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Torry. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
If you’re in Torry and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Torry
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Common reasons people in Torry contact us are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
