Toilet chip repair for Marden homes

Toilet chip repair in Marden, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Marden: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Marden

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Marden?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Marden

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Most customers in Marden get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
