Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Mark Hall South
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Mark Hall South
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Mark Hall South
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mark Hall South use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
