Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
About our toilet chip repair in Marden's Hill
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Marden's Hill
Do you cover Marden's Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Marden's Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Marden's Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Marden's Hill. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Marden's Hill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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.
