How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitecraig
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitecraig
Replacing a toilet means 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
