About our toilet chip repair in West Linton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in West Linton?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

West Linton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
