What affects the price in Mapledurham
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Toilet chip repair in Mapledurham 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 tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mapledurham
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Mapledurham: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mapledurham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
