Toilet chip repair in Markeaton without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Markeaton questions
Do you come to Markeaton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Markeaton and the rest of Derby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What affects the price in Markeaton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Markeaton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Markeaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Markeaton
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
