About our toilet chip repair in Townhead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Townhead questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Townhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Townhead and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
