Toilet chip repair in Edinburgh 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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
When we’d advise against a repair
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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
