What affects the price in Market Overton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our toilet chip repair in Market Overton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Market Overton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Market Overton: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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 will tell you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Market Overton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Market Overton?
We do. We send a technician to Market Overton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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.
What we work on
- Toilet pans

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
