Toilet chip repair in Westhill without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

When a repair is not the answer

We will 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Westhill

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Westhill.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Westhill

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Westhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Westhill?

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Westhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
