About our toilet chip repair in Waterside
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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 marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Waterside
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Other services in Waterside
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
