Questions from Magdalene
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Magdalene?
We do. We send a technician to Magdalene for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
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.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Magdalene
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Magdalene
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
