How we handle toilet chip repair in Marchington
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you come to Marchington?
We do. We send a technician to Marchington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
