What affects the price in Marcroes
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
About our toilet chip repair in Marcroes
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Marcroes
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Marcroes
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
